Rising R&D Activities to Aid the Global Ethyl Levulinate Market Growth

The rising applications of ethyl levulinate in fragrances and flavours are driving the growth of the market. The application of the product in the flavours and fragrances industry is supported by factors such as the rise in the disposable incomes as well as changes in consumer behaviour, especially in emerging economies. In the coming years, the growing demand amongst manufacturers for bio-based solvents is expected to broaden the market reach. The global market is expected to benefit in the near future from a favourable regulatory environment and several R&D initiatives. While the higher costs of ethyl levulinate feedstock, such as levulinic acid, might hinder the market growth, the development of cheaper alternatives to the existing feedstock options might favourably influence the industry in the coming years. The industry is also expected to be supported by the rising technological advancements such as the production of ethyl levulinate from furfuryl alcohol that has been derived entirely from biomass, along with eco-friendly catalysts. Such advancements in the production method are expected to propel the use of the chemical as a biofuel in the forecast period.
